“Choosing Resilience”
Price: Free
How to overcome physical and emotional challenges will be explored at Lifetree Café on
Sunday November 6, at 7 p.m.
The program, titled “Choosing Resilience,” features a screening of the inspiring true story
of Staff Sgt. Travis Mills who lost both his arms and legs as a result of an IED explosion in
Afghanistan.
“I was told by my occupational and physical therapists that they were there to help, but
whatever I put in was what I would get out. The sympathy card wasn’t ever played, and I
think that was key for my recovery,” said Mills.
The film shows an intimate look at the daily inner and outer struggles of wounded
veterans and the difficult rehabilitation processes they face. Participants will be
challenged to look at the ways they deal with their own personal trials and will find
encouragement and hope from Mills’ story.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Campbell Creek
Connexion on the Corner of Union and 13 th St., Arcata
